I just watched Hit Man, which claims there aren’t any such thing as hit men in real life - clearly that’s not the case!

I guess some people might go with f-s-tayb, but I wouldn’t necessary recognise what they were saying.

Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.

I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and topped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.

I think it’s probably a mix of criticising a joke for its accuracy, and the fact that it’s in a single paragraph so it’s a huge wall of text.

Lots of the industrial programming languages are very different to “normal”/“proper” programming languages, and I can see them being localised.

For example, this is (PLC programming language) Ladder Logic code:

I just saw the top two thirds, and had to scroll to see the punchline and the comm - what a pleasant surprise! For me, it’s the 3DO but that’s too niche for most.

That’s me out then

I don’t think that’s the opposite of plot armour, though - O’Brien was too much a main character (and too popular) to be killed off, so we knew he’d survive the episode/danger/trauma.

He definitely broke his arm more than the rest of the cast combined, but was spared any serious injury until the plot required it.

I just went to look for answers this, since report-uri.com is killing its free tier, and the lowest paid is way higher than my usage justifies. What did you settle on?

That’s a six book series, if I remember rightly. I love Pratchett’s stuff (Men at Arms is next on my Discworld reread) but I was thinking of his solo stuff. Normally I just start at the first published if I think I’ll enjoy the whole lot.

I haven’t read anything by him, where is a good place to start? Here?

Using leaf tea instead of bags means it’s more forgiving of over brewing. I’ve always assumed it’s because you have large pieces instead of the smaller bits plus dust you get in bags, but I have no idea really.
